Western Fantasy: the Growth History of the Shadow King

Magic Academy/Shadow Stream/Aristocratic Family/Youth Growth/Farming Struggle/Counterattack Villar Ed, the son of the Villar family, one of the twelve major families in the empire. He has a great fortune and many brothers, but he is the least favored one. On the day of the entrance test, the magic crystal lit up with a dark purple light - the shadow system, recognized by the empire as an "inferior talent". My father left without looking back. He was thrown into Dusky Star Academy on the other side of the bridge, a place for "trash". Everyone says that the Shadow family is weak, evil, and has no future. But Ed discovered that he could "swallow" other people's spells. Be it fireballs or wind blades, you can make them disappear in the palm of your hand just by stretching out your hand. The students from the elemental department didn't dare to approach him, the students from the holy light department wanted to get rid of him, the students from the alchemy department... Wanted to take him apart and study him, and even the low-status miscellaneous studies department dared to point fingers at him. And he just wants to understand one thing - What does that sentence on the title page of my grandfather's notebook mean? "The shadow is not dark, it is just the other side of light." Then he turned to the next page. The history of empire is false. The Holy Light Church is fake. Even the origin of magic has been tampered with. Until he was sixteen years old, he was named the lord of the empire. The entire empire is about to wake up behind him.
